Well I learned a big part of the police style while I was in jail and in prison, and the authorities would send in under-cover agents to spy and to find out info from the inmates. The type of questions they ask and the obvious leadings are present in that type of email.The emails come from other Countries because the US Homeland Security is a Federal agency and our laws will not allow them to intrap American citizens in internal stings, but having an international sourse makes it into a federal priority type crime. Plus they ask for unneccessary information like address, age, marital staus and particularly they ask Nationality because they are particularly after foreigners and foreign sympathies here in the USA. And these kind of "junk-mail" gets through the Yahoo and AOL sensors and Spam-Guards and that is nearly imposible to do, and imposible to do repeatedly, because the search engine email providers are powerful elements of the Internet. Also these kinds of emails will often do stuff like give sign that they are listed in the address / contacts when they are not. And some will even go into the Spam box after deleting from the inbox and only a the gov would have the authority to violate the search engine's (Google, Yahoo, AOL) spam guards. So it has many tell-tale signs pointing directly to the gov Homeland Security searching for terrorist links in the USA. There is also the report that all the 9-11 high-jackers used emails to communicate and so the internal search for enemies is on. ![]() | |

| This kind of junk gets thru my spam guard about once every six weeks or so. You hit the delete button and it goes away. I used to work in the fraud dept. It's not as difficult to hack into a computer as you might think. It has nothing to do with Bush. I've "won" lotteries I have never participated in and all kinds of baloney. Stop being so paranoid!

If I were really "paranoid" about it then I would not post it in a public Internet Forum like done here.It is just a piece of trivia that I believe people need to know. ![]() | |
